[ccp4bb] anisotropic Bs

2010-08-10 Thread Sue Roberts
Hello Everyone There's probably an easy way to do this, but I haven't found it. I've refined a 1.1 A structure with refmac and want to inspect the thermal ellipsoids. Specifically I want to know if any of them are non-positive definite and I want to know which have very large anisotropy. (I ca

A metaserver such as bioinfobank is helpful if your sequence is not super-secret, especially if one is not an experienced modeller. http://meta.bioinfo.pl/submit_wizard.pl It submits your sequence to a range of sequence-based and threading- based servers. Models (c-alpha, built with modell

Re: [ccp4bb] structure (factor) amplitude

My preference is also for the full structure factor amplitude. I would have said that I'd never seen the term structure amplitude used. However, I just looked this up in my old Stout & Jensen (1968 edition - brown cover) and find that (on p. 195) where |F| is introduced they define it as:

2008-10-02 Thread Sue Roberts
Hello I wish to thank everyone for all the helpful replies. A summary follows: While some expressed surprise at the zinc lability, others related tales of difficulty keeping zinc in a protein. Suggested ways of overcoming the problem included: 1) Use of TCEP as a reducing agent 2)

[ccp4bb] losing zinc during crystallization

2008-09-25 Thread Sue Roberts
Hello Everyone I've been trying to crystallize a zinc-containing enzyme for what seems to me to be an eternity. The protein contains stoichiometric zinc (1 zinc/ protein monomer) when isolated and the zinc is required for activity. Each crystal we've obtained has lost the zinc and conta

I don't think the term "high resolution" has any real definition or meaning anymore. If you're proud of the resolution, put the number in the title of the paper and let the reader decide. At one time 2 A was high resolution, but I wouldn't consider that high resolution today for a plain v
